Do we need Privacy and GDPR?

  • As reported elsewhere I have taken on (With zero experience) our Bowls club website as our previous webmaster sadly passed way following his cancer diagnosis.

    Our club site does not hold any personal information other than the names of the members on our committee, and, names of members who have won various competitions. There is a contact email for our Hon Sec, however an email cannot be sent to anyone else on or via our website.
    I have removed the only on site ‘Contact Us’ form there was.

    We do show photos of competition winners together with the competition they have won and their name; such as ‘2022 Men’s Singles-John Smith’
    As we do not hold or ask for any personal identity information of interested visitors I cannot see that we need either a Privacy notice or GDPR.

    I am wondering about ‘Visitor’ Counters, some advise they can or do use ‘Google Analytics’ which it seems can collect and give visitors IP details. If using ‘Google Analytics’ would flag up a need for a GDPR we will not use them. Others, that just record a visit do not so should be okay?

    I have read a lot of information and some of that seems to be contradictory, any help as to yes you do, or no you do not need, would be appreciated.
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Alan.

    It is not really a WordPress question, it is more a question to a lawyer in your country.
    I’d like to suggest you to ask one about details.

    I’m closing this topic as this is not a WordPress support topic. It’s a compliance/legal topic and those are not for these forums.

    For any serious legal matters for laws, regulations or compliance a support forum on the Internet is the last place to ask.

    I am closing this topic to new replies. If you need WordPress support please feel free to start a new topic for WordPress, an add-on such as a plugin or theme or how to do something in WordPress.

    But for legal topics? Not on this site please. The answers would range from very good (hopefully) to amazingly bad and just awful.
